ENEMY OF THE WEEK

#03 - AFFLICTER

Art by Kadokawa Corporation/Yoji Ojima

    The afflicter may be a palette swap of the drainer but that doesn't mean they have the same moveset! Although the afflicter also doesn't have a physical attack. But aside from that, the afflicter's main purpose is to... afflict you with status ailments! You definitely want to take these guys out quick, or else your party will be suffering from any number of debilitating statuses. Luckily such a nuisance can quickly be neutralized as their stats are quite low. As such they are often paired with either stronger or a larger number of monsters.

    Afflicters differ from their cousin the drainer, in that they are not trying to survive by leeching the energy of others. They are a manifestation of every disease and blight that troubles the inhabitants of Bovinae. They live to spread. They are highly contagious and can cause even the strongest warrior to catch a cold. Their long and numerous tentacles make it easier for them to come into contact with their hapless victims. Be sure to pack plenty of curative items or have gear equipped that negates negative effects, if you are all out of those then be sure to deal with them swiftly.

Afflicters will hide behind stronger foes.
